We are now down to t minus 4 months. WTF. My engagement has been so long that I kept thinking I had time to do so many things and now my time is almost up and I haven't finished accomplishing everything yet!
One Sprint item I recently checked off my list (yes, I'm still doing the sprints and they are working out really well for me!) was scheduling my makeup trial. I met with and booked Gina Brozon, a really nice and friendly woman who did an awesome job with my makeup.
However, after meeting with Gina, I began to wonder if having a trial does more bad than good!
On one hand, I am really glad I got to experiment a little before the wedding day. I was pretty sure I wanted to go with a dark, smokey look like the ones below. Looks like Kim Kardashian is my inspiration!
Gina totally achieved the look and even added some false eyelashes to give my wimpy ones a boost. But after looking at it a couple of hours later, I decided I didn't want as many falsies as I thought. Better to know now than on the wedding day!
On the other hand, however, getting my makeup done so professionally on a rainy Thursday night in September kinda freaked me out! Wearing all that makeup on a regular day made me nervous that it was TOO much makeup. Gina kept reminding me that it doesn't look like a lot when I'm wearing my big dress and my hair is formally done, but it still worried me that I won't look like myself.
I know this is probably the same reaction every bride gives during the trial but I'm unsure as to how/if I should do my makeup differently on the big day.
